MARCUS GARVEY ON DISARMAMENT FIASCO Speech on Disarmament Conference Delivered at Liberty Hall, New York, U. S. A., November 6, 1921 "This conference on disarmament, I have said, is all a joke, and every one of them is going there to see what can be gotten. Japan to see what she can get out of America; America to see what she can get out of France; England to see what she can get out of Japan; Italy to see what she can get out of England, and the greatest vagabond will come out with the big stick. Everybody knows that all sensible statesmen know that. They do not want any conference on disarmament, because you must arm to a certain extent. Swords are in heaven to keep the angels in good order. So since human nature is what it is, the world cannot afford to disarm. But do you know what they are getting together for? Not so much disarmament; they are getting together to form a pact by which they can subdue and further oppress the weaker peoples who are not as strong as themselves to demand a place in this conference now to be held. "I told you during the war in my speeches throughout the length and breadth of this country and through my writings in The Negro World week by week in 1916 it was planned in England that the Negro should pay the cost of the war. You will remember (some of you) my saying that several years ago it was the determination in Europe that Africa was to be exploited to pay the cost of the war and Negroes everywhere were to be used to supply the source of revenue by which the bankrupt nations would be able to declare themselves once more solvent. Since peace was declared—since the armistice was signed—those of you who have seen the conduct of statesmen in Europe, of governments and of subsidized commercial agents, will recall that great demands have been made and are being made to commercialize the raw and mineral products of Africa,, and by the spoils gained out of exploiting Africa they hope to reimburse themselves of the billions of dollars lost in the war of 1914 to 1918. THE AIM OF EUROPEAN STATESMEN "It does not take the vision of a seer; it does not take the vision of a prophet to see what the future will be to us, as a race, through the ambitions of the present-day statesmen of Europe. They feel that they have a divine right because of the strength of arms; because of their highly developed power to go into any part of the world and occupy it, and hold it, if that part of the world is occupied by weaker peoples. The statesmen of today believe that might makes right, and until they get that feeling out of them, until they destroy that spirit, the world cannot disarm. They fail to take into consideration, they fail to take into account, that there are 400,000,000 black men in the world today and that these 400,000,000 people are not going to allow anybody to infringe upon their rights without asking the question why."

A., The Negro World is a sort of stored sheet to me, and I am filling every one as I buy them from the Fine Book agent. We are planning to help push the cause here in the great South in a larger way, for I am now fully convinced that Mr. Garvey is the most remarkable Black Man born since the Pyramids were built, regardless of what his critics may say. His is the soul that visions the vast finality of Ethiopian place among the nations of the earth. Through Mr. Garvey's writings I have seen, once and for all time, that if the dark peoples of the world are to be recognized among the great races they must through effort, outside the seal of Anglo-Saxon glory, build in a land wholly their own. And the only logical place is our fatherland, Africa. I thank God today for that mighty soul thatears above sordid conventional limitations and sees a redeemed Africa, that soul that knows too well that the millions of black people of the earth have at their command the mightiest force in nature, and at the proper time that force will be released; that when from millions of black throes there shall go forth up to behow, habituated, purposeful, instructed proper to a given end, all the combined armies of earth will be INFLICTS AND INJUSTICES THE NEGRO IS MADE TO SUFFER IN AMERICA Actor Mobbed and Beaten Coy Herndon, Negro vaudeville actor and chiropractor, was seriously beaten by a white mob in Fort Pierce, Fla. He was waiting at a railroad station, it is reported, when he was approached by a white man who struck him with a pair of brass knuckles. The mob then rushed upon him and beat him insensible. No arrests were made. Some Known Lynchings In the first six months of 1926 nine people were lynched in the United States, according to records compiled by the Tuskegee Institute. Of these six were Negroes two whites and one Indian. Three lynchings occurred in Florida, two in Mississippi and one each in Arkansas, Kentucky, New Mexico and Texas. Enforcement of an Atlanta, Ga., ordinance prohibiting Negro barbers from cutting the hair of white children under the age of 14 was permanently enjoined by Judge John D. Humphries. The ordinance passed by the city council several months ago barred Negro barbers from serving white women and children. White residents of Cote Brillante avenue, St. Louis, secured an injunction from Circuit Judge Calhoun compelling Negro families to move from the block within thirty days. The suit They Called Him A Dead One, But He Came Back Someone told this "all in" skinny, wormout man that McCoy's Cand Oil Command Tablets were just what he needed to bring back his strength—his vigor—his nerve force. Told him they would add pounds of energetic flesh to his emaciated form. Told him that altho he seemed to have "lost his grip" that the vitalizing vitamins in McCoy's would put and stamina into him and that his body would be as worn as of old and steep fire, achatic and youthful. Tens of thousands of people all over the world and South America know by fact that the combination of McCoy's vitamins at the ideal stage for every man who needs them that they are strong—are getting backward.

The Negro World. New York, N. Y. Dear Sira: I wish to commend your paper as an advertising medium. The small ad we placed in your paper some time ago has brought better results than any advertisement we have ever placed in our ten years' experience in Business. We are planning a large advertising campaign this Fall and shall give your paper our first consideration in selecting mediums. I have been agreeably surprised at the loyalty of the membership of the U. N. I. A. and the progress of the Association's program. To my idea, it is the only constructive program the Negro race has had since freedom. I shall continue to do my bit in pushing the program in this section of the country. Respectfully Yours S. D.

If not go out and get one!—it is about the most worthwhile thing in life there is. The fellow with a sense of humor knows how to take the world—with reservations. He knows how to accept trouble, with a grain of salt. He is up on the fine art of not taking the serious aloof of life too seriously. To have a sense of humor is not merely to be able to see the point to a given joke. It involves being able to see others as others see themselves, and seeing one's self as others see one. It is the trait that enables the viewing of the world from a detached vantage point,—as a man on the side of a road views the vehicles that pass him by. The fellow with a sense of humor is on the outside looking in. He is passionate, tolerant and good natured, for he is acquainted with the weaknesses of the human mold and knows how to take them for what they are worth. Have you a sense of humor? If not go out and get one!—it saves one a lot of fretting and fuming about things that cannot be helped, and gives one the knack of being able to smile at the fobles and prejudices of the "so called human race." Italy Feigns Surprise At Abyssinia's Protest ROME, July 29—Italy is astonished to learn that Aybasinia has proptoed to the League of Nations concerning the Italo-English compact on Aybasinia, according to a government spokesman. The Italian attitude on the protest has not yet been decided upon, but it will be one of strict cooperation with Great Britain when the matter comes up in Geneva. The government spokesman admitted that the Italo-English agreement was made without Aybasinian participation. He asserted, however, that Aybasinia was informed immediately of the compact and expressed apparent satisfaction. GENEVA.—Aybasinia has sent a letter of protest to the League of Nations with regard to the Anglo-Russian accord concerning African affairs, contending that this accord is "threatening Aybasinia's sovereignty."

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 7, 1988 NEW YORK DRAWS THE COLOR LINE IN FISTICUFFS Boxing Commission Reverses Itself, Denying Harry Wills Shot at Heavyweight Title—One Rule for Whites, Another for Negroes BY HEYWOOD BROUN In The New York World My prediction is that it won't be much of a fight and that, anyway, it will never take place. Certainly a championship bout between Tunney and Dempsey would be a grave reflection on the sincerity of the boxing commission. It was my assumption that this board was created to bring about justice and fair play in the boxing field. No good reason has yet been advanced why Harry Willis should not have first chance at Dempsey's title. If no promoter is willing to put on such a bout, the public can afford to let the heavyweight title rot. Nothing but racial discrimination stands in the way of a meeting between the champion and the logical contender. --- To be sure, Jack Denmpsey would vastly prefer to meet Tunney. It is very likely that Willis would win the title, while against Tunney. Denmpsey has better than an even chance. I am willing to grant that the big Negro is not an interesting fighter. He does his most effective work in close where the spectator has almost no chance to see what is going on. But for that matter, the proposed Tunney-Denmpsey fight is to be held in a big ball park, where not 1 per cent of the spectators will see anything in any case. Much has been written about the genius of Tex Rickard for showmanship, and undoubtedly he has a true talent for promotion, but on the other hand he is fortunate in dealing with the most guilful section of all the sporting public. Baseball fans and football enthusiasts would never tolerate the treatment which the boxing rooters eagerly accept. It has been a matter of general comment after each big championship fight of the Polo Grounds or the Yankee Stadium, that only the few in the first row seats had anything like a decent view of the spectacle. It is Mr. Rickard's good fortune that he deals with human beings rather than elephants. His patrons forget every six months or so and are eager to come again and pay well for the privilege of being elbowed about in the huge crowd and hearing from a distance the roars of those at the ringside. By the noise those in the back rows can often get a distinct inkling of the way in which the title of the content is setting. Next morning each spectator is able to read an excellent account of the battle from some one who saw it and immediately he identifies himself with that reporter and the things he reads becomes a part of his own experience. I am not maintaining that the boxing commission should restrain the sporting public from getting something less than its money's worth. Those who wish to stare intently throughout an evening at the back of the man just in front have an inalienable right to squander their dollars. There is a larger principle involved. The boxing commission is a part of the government of this State. There is enough hypocrisy in public places already without having the commission add to the sum total of devious administration. New York is committed by statute to the proposition that there shall be no public discrimination against Negro citizens. Again and again the commission has announced that no legal barrier may be raised against mixed bouts. Indeed, it has sanctioned many. Mr. "Tiger" Flowers was permitted to get himself knocked out not once, but twice by Jack Delaney. As I remember, no race riots followed this triumph of Caucasian civilization. But now, when there seems a great likelihood that the white man would go down in the encounter, much is heard of the dangerous and evil effects of allowing a clash between a Negro (Continued on page 3) MAY SHIFT ABD-EL KRIM French Seek a Loss Expensive Place for Rifian's Exile PARIS, July 31. Although the French Government some time ago decided to exile to Reunion Island Abdel Kris, the surrendered Rifian war chief, it is possible that he will be sent elsewhere. Resident General Steeg and Minister of Colonies Perrier are discussing the best place to keep the Rifian chief at the smallest expense to France and at the same time out of mischief. The Government has definitely decided to exile him to a French possession in the Indian Ocean, but whether it will be Madagascar, Reunion or another place has not been settled. M. Steeg does not expect to leave Morocco for two weeks and a decision probably will be reached just before his departure. Jews Are Returning To Palestine at Rate Of 2,500 a Month GENEVA (U. P.)—The Jewish immigration into the new Jewish national home of Palestine is now greater than that of the Jewish immigration into the United States. According to statistics just compiled by the central bureau here of the International Zionist Movement, Palestine in the last year received a total of 28,722 Jews, while the United States received only 9,945. The total Jewish population that has returned to Palestine is now placed at 130,000. The average number of Jews now returning is about 2,500 a month. Poland is one of the largest contributors to Jewish immigration to Palestine. In 1928 a total of 17,740 returned from Poland, while no far this year the monthly average is 1,000. Among the new industries that are making great headway in Palestine is that of tobacco production and manufacture. The tobacco exports now total over $10,000,000 a year. Banana plantations are also being successfully experimented with, as well as orchards of apricots and other fruits. Palestine's new Nation Federation of Jewish Workers embraces already a membership of over 20,000, with unions of nearly all trades, scattered through a score of cities, village and agricultural colonies. To date the Zionist organization has collected a total of over $12,000,000 for the reconstruction of Palestine. While contributions have been received from over thirty different countries, the United States heads the list with contributions totaling about $1,000,000 a month. Senator Borah Hit Snag Citing Fugitive Slave Law From The New York World Senator Borah would be wiser if he left the Fugitive Slave Law alone and didn't try to use it to argue the case for Prohibition. What impresses Mr. Borah is the fact that Lincoln urged all men to support the Fugitive Slave Law because a clause existed in the Constitution which authorized its passage. This strikes Mr. Borah as a happy parallel. Lincoln. He says, urged all good citizens to stand by the Constitution. But Mr. Borah stops too soon. He ought to go on to the end of the story, which was this: that not even Lincoln's exhortations could persuade a great body of Americans to support a law for which they had no use. Mr. Borah can read the story in any standard history. He will find that after the first Fugitive Slave Law was adopted New York, Indiana, Connecticut and Vermont enacted legislation specifically designed to hamper officials in the execution of the law. He will find that when the South appealed for more drastic legislation, as the Volstead days might appeal to-day—and got it—the result was not enforcement but the prompt passage of more personal-liberty laws in eight more Northern States, extending the Habeas Corpus Act and forbidding State justices to take cognizance of claims. In the end, more drastic legislation only increased local hostility to a hated law, only increased the efficiency of the underground railroad and only embittered two sections of the country and helped urge them on to war. And this was true despite anything Lincoln said and despite anything in the Constitution. Mr. Sorah could go a long way and not find an analogy which is less happy for his own eager point of view. To argue that the Prohibition Law should be enforced he cites a law so unenforceable that it not only never was enforced but nearly smashed the Union.

The following is the third of a series of articles from the pen of Mr. S. A. Haynes, president of the Pittsburgh Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, on the decision of the Belize Court in the Morter will case. The articles appeared in the Belize Independent: By S. A. HAYNES The decree of the learned Chief Justice says in spirit and authority that it is illegal for an African 1. To redeem stolen goods. 2. To dislodge a burglar out of his home. 3. To protect the sanctity of his womanhood. 4. To fight in defence of his liberty. 5. To fight for racial preservation. 6. To enter the international arena for a place in the sun. Having branded the U. N. I. A. as an outlaw organization, let us look around and ascertain if it is the most vicious in existence. Are the purposes for which the League of Nations exists legal? What relationship is there between the missionary societies of the white world and their respective governments? The naval and military organizations of all the nations—What brought them about and what purposes do they serve? The white press, the Roman Catholic dynasty, the thousands of white churches and educational institutions—What motives guide them in their body politics? Here are your scientific and chemical laboratories—Do they function for man's elevation, or man's damnation? Here are the Knights of Columbus and the Ku Klux Klan. Here are scores upon scores of white associations making the youth of the land proficient, in military preparedness and race hatred. Is it not true that they are all dedicated to the service of white supremacy? Then is it illegal for similar agencies controlled by black men to be dedicated to black supremacy! The cry of "The survival of the fittest" has been heralded round the world. Why should not the Negro take heed? Affecting a Race The Chief Justice was well aware of the fact that his decision would not only affect an association of Negroes, but fundamentally he was to recognize or nullify the common rights of an oppressed race, the second largest in the world, and ownership of Africa, the house of the universe. Dominating his whole racial consciousness, and ever before him, like a guiding star, was the age-worn argument of imperialistic Europe: "Africa is ours by right of conquest and civilization." What do these imperialists mean by the conquest of Africa? Can an armed brute, drunk with lust for Naboth's vineyard, boast of conquest over a defenseless, unsuspecting host? What civilization? The use of Christianity as a screen for ruthless exploitation; the destruction of native manhood and womanhood by communicable diseases and wanton abuse of moral laws; the confacation of vast mineral and agricultural territories and the subjugation of the masses; the virtual enslavement of all and sundry—is this civilization? Show Your Papera It would be interesting to be informed by what process of reasoning the nations of Europe arrived at the argument that their foothold in Africa was attained through legal channels Africans at home and abroad would gladly reinquish all claims to the Fatherland; Marcus Garvey would admit defeat, and the U. N. I. A. and the South African National Congress would gladly disband. If any authentic records could be produced to show that our forefathers legally bequeathed the vast continent of Africa to the imperialists of bankrupt Europe. Bring on the deeds, the mortgages, the conveyances, the transfers. We are ready for a thorough investigation into the whole subject of the right of possession to Africa. It is time that the white man be given to understand that he is not the sole judge of what is legal and illegal, and that any decision he may hand down will be respected only in so far as the element of justice and truth warrants. No one knows better than peoples of color that the whole system of present-day civilization is founded upon the illegality of purposes. Force is greater than the law, and the law less than national ambition. Legal rights may not be attained without the illegal usurpation of power. The fundamentalism of legality is discarded for the fundamentalism of racial necessity and national integrity. The Chief Justice of British Honduras has spoken for the imperialism of his country. It is now for his country, through the Privy Council, to indorse or nullify his pronouncement. And in the interim all Africa waits with head erect. (This contribution will be concluded when the Privy Council hands down a final decree.) FINE TRIBUTES TO MARCUS GARVEY AS ANNIVERSARY OF THE FIRST WORLD CONVENTION IS OBSERVED New York Local Displays Oldtime Spirit on Occasion of Garvey Day and Anniversary of Declaration of Rights of Negro Peoples of the World NEW YORK CITY, Sunday Night. August 1.—There was twofold cause for unbounded enthusiasm tonight as the members of the New York Local assembled in their thousands on the occasion of the weekly mass meeting. In the first place it was Garvey Day—the first Sunday of the month—the day set apart for paying tribute to the great leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey, who now suffers in Atlanta penitentiary because he dared to espouse the cause of the Negro in manly fashion. Secondly, it was the anniversary of an epochal event in the life of the Negro—the assembling of the first Convention of the Negro peoples of the world in New York City in 1920 as a result of the organizing genius of Marcus Garvey. If George Z. Marke and George A. Weston, the pathetic pretenders, with their mock parade of 100 persons through the streets of Harlem, where once there were thousands, and their fantastic dream of stepping into the shoes of Marcus Garvey, wanted further proof that they would reap the reward of the wicked, they had only to look in at Liberty Hall tonight and hear the shouts of exoriation from thousands of throats as their names were mentioned; they had only to peep in at the Commonwealth to be truly apprised of the enormity of their recent acts. At the bidding of Hon. F. Levi Lord, the vast audience rose and gave three resounding cheers for the imprisoned leader, and, as if not content with this, burst into prolonged applause, as the sounds of the cheering died away. It was a remarkable tribute paid to a remarkable man who has wrought a remarkable work. size of this audience is largely due to the fact that this is Garvey Day. There is no such thing as honestly and legally and intelligently divorcing from a great movement the creator of that great movement. You might as well eliminate the movement itself as (Continued on page 10) The meeting went with a swing from start to finish. Hon. Fred A. Toote, acting president-general, was in the chair, while supporting him on the platform were Hon. F. Levi Lord, chancellor; Hon. Dr. J. G. St. Clair Drake, international organizer; Hon. Madame M. L. T. De Meza, assistant international organization and several visitors and distinguished workers of the organisation. The meeting opened with prayer by Mr. Toote, followed by the singing of the openingode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains." Then with a fervor which symbolized the universal love of the host of Negroes for their imprisoned chieftain, the audience sang, "God Bless Our President." A musical programme followed, two rendering by the Universal Band and a solo by Mrs. Kassell being much appreciated. Master D. Samuela was first to speak, his piece being a reading on the theme of African Redemption. Mr. I. B. Vanderhorst, a missionary from San Domingo and a stalwart worker of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, was next introduced. He created much enthusiasm as he told of the splendid progress being made by the association in his republic and of his determination from the pulpit to discomfort the foes of Garveyism since it was from the pulpit that much of the opposition still came. He was convinced, he declared, as the audience cheered him to the echo, that the moment one kept his eyes fixed on Garvey from that moment he prospered, but the moment one turned one's back on the great leader, that moment he perished. MADAME DE MENA'S ADDRESS Madame M. L. T. Do Mena, a great favorite with the New York hosts, next spoke. "The occasion tonight," she said, "of your gathering brings to my mind a day six years ago when the greatest declaration that was ever written upon the pages of history was written by the Negro peoples of the world in the Convention of 1920, when Marcus Garvey was elected Provisional President of Africa and when the Negro peoples of the world gave notice to the nations of the world that the Negro had at last decided what he wanted, where he was going to and what he intended to fight for the balance of his life—the freedom of Africa, Africa for the Africans, at home and abroad." (Applause.) The speaker then congratulated the New York membership upon their steadfastness during the past year and the signal manner in which they had kept aloft the torch of Garveyism. "When I look you square in the eyes," she said. "It gives me new encouragement; it gives me new inspiration to fight on until Marcus Garvey comes back to us." Mrs. De Mena then launched into an eloquent discussion of freedom, and what it means, driving home that it was the goal of freedom to which the Mon. Marcus Garvey was leading them and bidding her hearers ever to keep his memory green in their hearts. HON. DR. DRAKE'S ADDRESS Mon. Dr. Drake, International Organizer, was the next speaker. Cheers greeted him as he came forward to speak. He said: "It gives me exceedingly great pleasure to be present with you tonight on this very auspicious occasion—auspicious because of the significance represented in this great day. And I want to congratulate New York upon its steadfastness of purpose to magnify and dignify occasions of this sort by such a large outpouring as this. There are other attractions in New York tonight, and many of them, but I am glad that the attraction that has the greatest force, the one that is more dynamic is furnished by this Association and the event which we celebrate tonight. Garvey Day "This day we celebrate as Garvey Day. And I want to hope that this size of this audience is largely due to the fact that this is Garvey Day.

LOCAL CONVENTIONS TO BE HELD AUG.15-AUG.22 LEAGUE OF NATIONS IS A FAILURE LEAGUE OF NATIONS IS A FAILURE So Says Ramsay Macdonald British Labor Leader—His Britain to Be Blamed LONDON, July, 1926.—The League of Nations, like an individual in public life, suffers from the fact that its successes are often passed over unobserved while its failures are, as a rule, matters of public concern. Nor can the League in a day or a year undo the mistakes of the past. It still lives a precarious life. Hostile countries may crush it by defying it, and apparent friends may try to use it disloyally to their own advantage. The only purpose that the League can have is to remove the causes of war and to found the security of nations upon judicial judgment rather than upon military strength. If it falls in this, its failure is complete. Immediately after the war it was well within the bounds of possibility; every year that now passes tends to elbow it beyond these bounds. A big, aggressive nation arises in the world and compels others to grow up, too. A nationalism of an imperialist kind, whose justice is nothing but its own will, and whose conception of greatness is nothing but its own might, challenges every hope of a world enjoying peace and liberty, and will in the end render abortive every attempt to create a League of Nations. If either the Assembly or the Council of the League allows itself to become the field for maneuvers, for pure diplomatic log-rolling, the League cannot gain moral power.

The League then lost moral authority. It will take a long time to regain it. Mistakes and weakness shown now may be irreversible.

VISOR EYESHADE ATTACKED AS MENACE TO VISION Promissuous Wearing Will Result in Photophobia, Says Optometrist BOSTON, July 29.—Warning that positive danger of vision lies in the visor cap eyeshade was sounded today by Dr. Joseph H. O'Neill, president of the Massachusetts Society of Optometrists. He said that photophobia, a painful condition of the retina, would result from promissuous wearing of the eyeshades, which gained wide popularity from the pictures of Helen Wills on the tennis courts. "By the use of the shades under normal conditions, rays of light that are necessary to produce a healthy stimulus to the eye are cut off and the eye soon loses its ability to function as nature intended," Dr. O'Neill said. Paris Establishes A Belinograph Post PARTI.—A "Bellinograph" post has been established in the office of Chief of Police Morains. The duties of this branch of the service, which will be to transmit photographs and fingerprints by wire or wireless telegraphy as a means of identifying criminals, has been arranged in all the chief cities of France, and it is hoped that all the capitals of Europe later will do the same.

Soil Erosion Destroys $100,000,000 a Year Losses to American farmers from soil erosion amount to $100,000,000 annually, says the United States Department of Agriculture. This washing away of the cream of farm lands is caused chiefly by direct action of heavy rains and by the freezing and thawing of saturated soil followed by heavy rains. It is most effectively prevented or controlled by terracing. Ridge terraces are best adapted on moderate slopes, while for steep slopes bench terraces give best results. NEW YORK DRAWS THE COLOR LINE and a Nordic. To be sure, the commissioners have not the courage publicly to advance any such reason for their face-about. I have not observed that they have given any rational explanation for rescinding their previous decision that Dempsey must meet Wills first or remain idle. Seemingly, they decided that they must change their minds or Mr. Rickard would be displeased. To the layman, the special privileges of Tex Rickard under the law seem extraordinary. In New Jersey he was allowed to hold bouts in a huge wooden saucer, where fearful disasters might have occurred in case of fire. The fact that the structure swayed ominously upon one occasion never occasioned the building inspectors of that State a bit of worry. And now against all previous precedent the heavyweight champion is to be allowed to choose the less dangerous of two challengers. The government of New York is being committed not only to the proposition that there is one procedure for white men and another for Negroes, but also to the theory that rules which apply to bantams, feathers and welters don't go for heavyweights. More than 500,000 men use cosmetics secretly. Women visit beauty shops oftener than their churches. Cosmetics stimulate matrimony and swell the birthrate among families. A woman is at the tide of her attractiveness at forty. Women of the United States spend $1,000,000 a day for beautification purposes. T., NEAR: 7th Ave. TERS At the time the commission seemed standfast in its determination that Dempsey must give Wills the first chance, much was made of the tragic possibility that the championship bout might be taken to Chicago. By now it is evident that this was no more than a bung on the part of Tew Rickard. Just why it struck terror into the hearts of the boxing commissioners I do not profess to understand. If it had been true that the promoter intended to take Tunney and Dempsey to that alien city to settle their quarrel, I fail to see how any of us would have even worse off. Even at such a distance the papers We have the honor to be, Yours fraternally. MEN GROWING EFFEMINATE IN USE OF COSMETICS 500,000 Said to Use Secretly Beautifying Remedies—Some of the Queer Things They Do CHICAGO, July 28.—An avalanche of serious and frivolous facts about the face beautiful is pouring from the convention of cosmeticians here as the beauty experts continue to back up their modest claim that they have made all women pretty and most men good looking. For those who would put a little contrast into the picture of universal beauty, Mrs. J. M. McGavran, an expert facial engineer from Kansas City, has offered the convention designs and drawings of how to look "hard boiled." "For the real hard-bolled look," explained Mrs. McGavran, "shade your upper eyelids heavily with black and on the lower lid mark a heavy line as well. Also blacken your lashes, and no one in the world will suspect that you are not a wild, wild woman — unless you blurb and coo in baby talk." Mrs. McGavran wasn't quite so sure she could agree with her sister complexion carpenters about the disappearance of the ugly duckling. "Too many women still apply makeup with the hand of the bricklayer," she said. "The sin of make-up is applying it without craft. A blonde never should use solid black around the eyes. It destroys the youth of her whole face. The color of the hair and the eyelashes gives the key to the ey make-up shade. Only women with dark hair and decided coloring of eye can use black mascara without looking the part of the painted lady." Among the startling facts of beautification as claimed by the cosmeticians are that: Executive Council, UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION. FRED A. TOOTE, Acting President-General. W. A.

ABYSSINIA THREATENS FIGHT FOR ITS SHRINES Fear of Desecration is at the Bass of Objection to British and Italian Plans LONDON. July 20. — Christian shrines are again threatening to prove a casus belli between the East and the West, but with a difference. At the time of the Crusades it was the West which went to war to prevent their desecration. Now it is the East which is protecting against their destruction, to further Occidental projects. This curious situation developed as a sequel to the recent agreement between the British and Italian Governments regarding Abyssinia, the last independent African State and one of the hardest native nuts, in a military sense, which European soldiery has ever tried to crack. What Britain covee in Abyssinia is a concession to build a big dam at Lake Tsana, with further barrages on the Blue Nile. The carrying out of such a project would make the British spinners almost independent of American cotton. Italy wants to build a railway to connect the Italian colonies of Eritrea and Italian Somaliland and incidentally tap the rich country between. By the Anglo-Italian agreement each country has contracted to support the other in negotiating concessions. Abyssinia wishes to grant neither. The British harage scheme would raise the level of Lake Tsana and thereby submerge a number of islands containing shrines considered by the Abyssinian Christians to be sacred. The Regent of Abyssinia, Ras Tafari, has protested to the League of Nations ```markdown ``` INDIGESTION RHEUMATISM COLDS EXHAUSTION RUN-DOWN LOCKED out.

Paganism in Europe Worst in the World The following is taken from a brief report of the morning proceedings on July 17 of the Wesleyan Methodist Conference recently concluded at York, England. The report appeared in the Northern Daily Telegraph. Dealing with the report of the Wesleyan Missionary Society, Mr. G. F. Byron, its general treasurer, said the most urgent need of today was a missionary policy in Europe. The paganism of Western Europe was worse than anything in Africa, and the anti-Christian feeling in Eastern Europe the worst on the face of the globe. Dealing with the condition of China, the Rev. Harold Rattenbury said the country today was undergoing the long and terrible travail of a great nation in rebirth. They had had 15 yers of wars, bandits and distress in which foreign diplomatists had had to choose between ideals, or liberty and order. That was why they had been backing the strong man, and were still backing him, but the future of China was not so much with the past strong man as with the cause of liberty. He could see no immediate end to the political struggle, but he believed the day was rapidly approaching when China would have in deed, and not on paper, a Republic with free institutions. --- --- The Negro World does not knowingly accept questionable or fraudulent advertising.

LET'S PUT IT OVER LOCAL U. N. I. A. CONVENTIONS THE Executive Council of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has issued a call for local conventions instead of an international gathering of the association for the year 1926, the conventions to convene August 15 and continue until August 22. A program has been outlined covering each day's sessions, as published in the last issue of The Negro World, signed by Honorable Fred A. Toote, acting President-General, and Honorable W. A. Wallace, Secretary-General. "Each division, Chapter and Branch is requested to convene a local convention and so stimulate interest and make your community ring with the message of 'One God, One Aim, One Destiny'." says the call. No one can read the program or these local conventions and not be impressed by the fact that all of the vital interests of the Negro people are covered by it. A careful reading of the subjects for each day's sessions will convince the reader that great good must result from the interchange of thought and determination based upon such interchange. The international feeling will animate the members because the subjects to be discussed and acted upon, while local in character, must have general application to the whole membership and affect the Negro race as a whole. The conventions will be widely separated in point of place but as one in point of time and subjects to be considered. The community of feeling which animates international bodies will thus be obtained in the local conventions; and the community of feeling and of interests is of the very first importance. The high thought that we have "One God! One Aim! One Destiny!" will animate the membership as if it were meeting as one body in an international convention instead of as in many local conventions meeting separately. All thought in all of the local conventions will be centered upon the same subjects, and their expression will be common and mutual because of the sameness, and the desired results will be wrought out by the same token. These local conventions should be generally and largely attended. The great interests of the Universal Negro Improvement Association never appealed more to the Negro people than they do today, and the usefulness of the association was never more needed by the Negro people, who are struggling everywhere for the right of self-assertion and determination in their own life and living. The white races are everywhere asserting their divine right to subjugate and rule and exploit the darker races of the world, and unless these latter make a determined stand against this presumption and arrogance and insolence, they will be overmastered and submerged, as the Red Indian of the Americas and the aboriginal Malay of the Australias have been. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is dedicated to the proposition that the Negro race will survive only insofar as it resists the determination of the white races to subjugate, rule and exploit it. They must meet argument with argument and force with force or be exterminated. Now, then, let each member strive to make the local conventions memorable in the splendid history of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. President-General Marcus Garvey expects that much of each member. CRIME AND SCANDAL RAMPANT THE sensitive person is all worked up over the prevalence of crime and scandal in high and low places, which have the country thoroughly gripped, and with which the newspapers are so deluged in their reports as to make it appear that we wade through a sea of crime and scandal in our search for the real and necessary news of the world's thought and work. And we are led to understand that, in a lesser degree, a like wave of crime and scandal has Great Britain and Europe in its swell. In the United States crime and scandal appear to be forcing law ad legal process to their knees, putting every citizen on guard as far as his life and property are concerned. Is civilization crumbling? Are law and legal process breaking down and crime and scandal sweeping the nation to its doom? It looks that way, but let us hope that the menace will pass away. INCARNATION OF JESUS AND THE THEOSOPHET'S VIEWPOINT HERE has been a general breaking away from Christian Beginns and Mohammedan and Buddhist Faith during the last generation, which aggressively asserting itself in the life of believing Christians and Mohammedan thinkers much worry. Being from a distinct falling away from Mohammedanism in May, led by Mustapha Kemal Pasha, in the of the Mohammedan domination in which and of the head of the faith and virtual as the Tidy City. Today the Mohammedan faith and are immersing in the agencies of displu- tion. Headless disorganization always leads to that. Sometimes it recovers its head and organization, but not always. The Christian world is not much better off than the Mohammedan world. The Catholic Church, which is the most compact and thoroughly organized with a single head of the sectarians, is entirely unical in character and purpose and distinct from the Protestant Christians, the Catholic having Jesus for Rock while the Protestants, without knowing it, have Paul for chief apostle. The protestants are so divided among themselves to be without one head and so confused in their belief as to have as many doctrines as there are denominations among them. The Catholics are losing everywhere their claim to dominate the spiritual as well as the temporal life of the people, the upheaval in Mexico being the latest protest against such domination, while the Protestant Christians are not only divided in their denominations but have come to a radical misunderstanding about matters of doctrine; one part standing for fundamentalism and the other part for modernism. The result is confusion in the whole Christian world. The East Indian Theosophists, who believe in reincarnation and who are expecting a world "teacher" in some person not yet manifested, owe much of their vitality and the general interest that attaches to them and their cuit, to Mrs. Annie Besant, an English woman now seventy nine years old, who has devoted her life to the Theosophist heresy. She has developed a young Brahmin as the coming "teacher," and the cult has been meeting at a place in Ommen, in Holland, expecting some sign that they have the right direction. There are some 2,000 persons gathered at that point. A cablegram to the New York World gives us the following description of the gathering: Patiently, hopefully, their material wants ministered to by the application of modern science, 2,000 men and women await what they expect to be the reincarnation of the "world teacher" in the body of a young Brahmin, I. Krishnamurti. Only their eyes, fastened intently, almost fanatically, upon the young Indian as he sits enthroned on a rough-hewn Druidic seat in front of the flickering fire, betray the eagerness with which the little army of disciples waits for the inspired words that shall announce the miracle. Foremost among those who sit and watch the young Indian as the fire plays on his delicate features is Mrs. Annie Besant, in her youth the image of Lord Byron with all his heady temperament, but now a bowed woman of seventy-nine with white, bobbed hair. It was she who took Krishnamurti as a boy and reared him as a son. In her heart burns most brightly the faith that the "world teacher"—known to Christians as Christ—will make his second coming to earth known through the lips of the young Brahmin just as, more than nineteen centuries ago, in the belief of many Theosophists, he spoke through the mouth of a young carpenter named Jesus. These intelligent people could carry superstition no further. And most Christians are equally superstitious. They, too, are looking for the coming of the Messiah, as "this same Jesus," and not as a reincarnation in the person of some other one. And why should Christians, or those nurtured in the Christian doctrine, "look to the East country, Eastward," among a non-Christian people for the reincarnation of "Jesus, the King of the Jews," and who came to save "the lost sheep of the house of Israel?" It is all a mystery. The white races are not of the "house of Israel" and do not claim to be, but they have grabbed all that "Israel" stands for in the Bible and strive to hog it all, to the exclusion entirely of the Hamites and Shemites who have part in the promises, while the white races cannot identify themselves as Japhethites at all, with any inheritance in the promises. They claim to be Nordics and the like, concerning which the Bible is silent. THURSDAY.

There has always been a race question, and perhaps there always will be. The race question is one of the foremost in American thought—stronger and deeper than our religion.

Time in its flight can no'er erase The cherished thoughts of you: Alone I sit and sing your praise. How can I bid adieu? WIFE. Robert Todd Lincoln Is Dead; Last of the Emancipator's Sons From the New York World As Secretary of War under two Presidents as Minister to England under a third and as the most conspicuous figure for some years in the Pullman company, the late Robert T. Lincoln had a busy and useful career of his own. But he was best known as Lincoln's one surviving son; and it is not unlikely that he will be remembered longest for the unconscious part he played in making Lincoln President. For that he did play a part is undeniably indicated by the facts of 1850. Robert Lincoln when 1850 opened was a boy attending Phillips Exeter in preparation for Harvard. His father received the invitation to lecture in Plymouth Church in Brooklyn, and hesitated to face an Eastern influence. One argument that was certainly considered was that the lecture would give him an excuse—and his expenses—for a visit to Phillips Exeter. He accepted, and the result was the Cooper Union address, which did more than anything else to win Lincoln the Republican nomination a few months later. But that was not all Lincoln went on into New England to visit his son, and spoke at Concord, Manchester, Exeter and Toward in New Hampshire at New Haven Hartford, Worcester and Norwich. He made a remarkable impression. In the Chicago convention New England gave the Westerner 19 votes on the first ballot. 32 on the second and 42 on the third, and some New Englanders did excellent field work in his behalf. History is frequently awed by trifles. One of the trifles, that may have been important in Lincoln's career was his decision that his prairie-born son ought to have an Eastern education. HEALTH TOPICS By DR. M. ALICE ABSERSON of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association A short time ago the parents of two small children in Albany refused to allow the city epidemiologist to immunize the youngsters against diphtheria. No argument was sufficient to convince them of the value of this preventive treatment. It was not long, however, before the epidemiologist was called to the same house. This time it was because every member of the family had contracted diphtheria. It has been proved that children can be immunized and thus made safe from diphtheria, which is a dangerous disease, by three injections of toxin anti-toxin. Sometimes the child is first given the Schick test to determine whether or not he is naturally immune. This test is a simple one, does not hurt the child, and there are no dangers from it. Very often the toxin anti-toxin is given without the Schick test. The child is given three injections of toxin anti-toxin. The injections do not hurt, and will make the child safe from the disease. Diphtheria is most fatal to young children, that is from 6 months to 6 years. It is most important that these children and children in school who may be exposed to the disease should be immunized. Physicians and public health workers are anxious to stop diphtheria for all time. Will you assist them? Will you profit by the tragic experience of the family in Albany, and make your family safe by having them immunized? Says Virgin Islands Need No Police Chief The Colombian liner Hafti arrived in Brooklyn recently from the West Indies. Her commander, Captain F. F. Dumke, told of dodging the hurricane which wrecked Nassau and San Domingo. Among the passengers on the Hafti was M. J. Dolan, Police Commissioner of St. Thomas. He went to the Virgin Islands two years ago to visit his son, Dr. Roger Dolan, and was urged to enter the police service. "I have a guilty conscience every time that I take my salary," he said. "The islands are so law abiding that there is no need for a Police Commissioner. The only trouble that we have is with a small number of Red agitators." Open More Playgrounds In connection with the drive, under the auspices of the Community Councils, to open more playgrounds for children, the North Harlem Community Council seeks the cooperation of all Harlem dwellers in making this very commendable project a success. Primes of 318 and 319 will be offered by Community Council to the child writing the best five hundred word essay as to what will make the playground in their neighborhood most effective.

AUGUST 7, ANNIVERSARY OF DEATH OF SIR JOHN EDWARD BRUCE A Tribute to the Memory of the Grand Old Man of Negro Journalism, Who Rose from Obscurity to Eminence in the Field of Letters B. ERNEST E. MAIR August 1 is exactly two years since Mighty Bruce laid down his trenchant pen. And it is but hitting that on this the anniversary of his death, we say some word to keep his memory green. For surely nowhere in our short history since emancipation can we find a better example for Negro youth than that man who, born to poverty and ignorance, lifted himself by his own bootstraps" to the heights of education and culture. I have always maintained that a self-educated man is the best example of human endeavor that society provides. The youth who born to affluence, secures a university education at his father's expense, cannot appreciate as can a son of the struggling poor the boon of knowledge. Few persons who read with avidity the writings of "Bruce Grit" know that at the age of sixteen he was almost illiterate. So wide was his information so varied his intellectual interests that most people who came in contact with him sit him down for an honor graduate of one of our best universities. I remember the day when, myself caught with that scabbish idea, I asked him the name of his alma mater. He did not laugh and he did not frown. He looked up from his desk, and after regarding me for a moment, replied quietly: "The College of Hard Knocks' the 'University of Experience'." Then, as I impartured him, he related to me in brief his life career. Many of the details I have forgotten, but two things stand out in my memory: That at sixteen he could barely sign his name, and that he had never let pride stand in the way of earning an honest living. He said: "Young man, it is a tite saying, but truer than many realize, that it is best where jobs are concerned to take the heat that you can get until better turns up." Unlike so many "self-made" men, he was not proud. There was no more democratic person than John E. Bruce. Only a couple of weeks ago I came across some of his clippings in an old scrap-book and found that much that he had prophesied came to pass just as he saw it. The things being said now by some of our most prominent white papers on the relative importance (to politicians) of the fourteenth and eighteenth amendment to the National Constitution of the U. S. were said in better language by John E. Bruce as far back as 1921, and one of his 1922 Negro World articles deals in his own terse style with the growth of sentiment against the Volstead act, which he actually then declared would be a pulsing issue by the time the 1928 Presidential elections approached. Let me quote: "From the conversation I hear in various odd spots of Harlem the wet plank in the Democratic platform will have the same value to Al Smith as four aces in a skilful game of poker. "The promise of light wines and beer which there few remarks hold out has an alluring sound. The issue . . . is not one of politics, but a long-continued and enforced thirst. . . If Mr. Smith wins on this issue the thin end of the wedge will have been placed under the Volstead law in this State . . . and will inspire other communities to go and do likewise in future campaigns and thus make possible a nation-wide demand by the electorate for light wines and beer." Again: "This piece of legislation can only be enforced in spect, and at great cost to the government. . . The way to make a bad law odious is to enforce it. The Volstead law is becoming more odious day by day and is making hares and hypocrites, sneaks and snakes and criminals of a good many people who would like to be good citizens but cannot because they must have their booze or a substitute for it." So much for liquor. Broad-Minded Mr. Bruce was the only sincere u-holder of religion I have talked with who was broad enough to, in actual practice, respect the views of an anti-religionist and concede him honesty of opinion. At one time when I had been lambasting deism he said to me: "Your anti-religious fervor proclaims you religious. Like all new converts you run to proselytism. Go ahead, my boy, your fever will burn itself out, then you'll find a saner and more satisfying philosophy." If he had cause to "call anyone down" he did it in a way that left you powerless to strike back, but able to make amends with a good grace. Thus when Dr. C. G. Woodson failed to give the Negro Society for Historical Research due credit for certain rare photographs used in his book on Negro history, Mr. Bruce, who was president of the society, wrote: "The N. S. H. R. has supplied many authors and writers . . . with data and photos of eminent and distinguished Negroes which they could not find in other places. Some of these ladies and gentlemen . . . have acknowledged the courtesies . . . by giving publicity to the fact in their books or news articles . . . I find that Dr. C. G. Woodson, in his latest book, has not given us credit for certain rare photographs which were honed him on the understanding that due credit would be given. I am charitable enough to believe that the good Dr. Woodson, in his hoste to get out his book, overlooked this important item. R. in, however, not to late to make the necessary acknowledgment through the pages of his Journal of Negro History. H the N. S. H. R. is worth credit it is certainly cantiled to be credited for its "quotes." from across Dr. Woolson. And so I could continue and fill the entire paper with instances of his worth in various directions. But think I have said enough. I cannot write a biography of John E. Bruce—that must he left to someone more able, but I can and will help as best I know how to keep before the eyes of young Negrodom such sterling examples of worth within their own race. When in 1324 I read of his death I cried like a woman and without shame for the loss of one of the finest specimens of true manliness it has been my pleasure to know in any country and of any race. Had Bruce been born to a fair-minded country there would have been no height he could not have scaled. As it was, handicapped by mean opportunities and by the prejudices of his white fellow-citizens, he nevertheless won a place of prominence and respect in the life of his country, filling with credit many responsible government positions and a place in American journalism, white as well as Negro, that will not easily be filled. He was also prominent in Masonry, of which order he was a life member and one of the founders of the Negro Society for Historical Research, whose secretary, A. A. Schomburg, recently sold his valuable library to the Rockefeller Foundation. His memory, however, is greatest in the hearts of his disciples who learned much from contact with his meek, unaffected greatness. Such men do not die—they live again in those they inspire. To members of the U. N. I. A. especially he will be best remembered for his poem which appears in the first pages of the Constitution: God of the right our battles fight Be with us as of yore. From my own poem to his memory, written after his death in 1924. I'll quote in closing: Though he is gone—his memory remains To show success means more than ill-got gains Of filthy lucre. And to cheer us on The while we fight the fight he fought and won. (From the Charleston Messenger) Those who have the interest of the Negro citizens at heart, cannot and must not cease in their endeavor to bring about a better understanding: a fuller realization of dependence one upon the other, that they may accomplish those things worthwhile which mean greater opportunities and broader visions to the rank and file. There are many who contend that it is hurtful to the race to make public the fact that the race is lacking in unity. In fact, many race newspapers have suffered severe criticism for their open condemnation of the dissonation, discord and petty grievances that exist more or less in every city town and village where Negroes reside. We have often wondered if these critics think for a moment that such a glaring fault, that constitutes the greatest drawback to Negro advancement and which almost tends to make him desplaced of races, could possibly pass unnoticed by other races, with which he is so closely identified in his everyday life and activities. Does not his very poverty clearly reveal the fact that he is too much divided within? Then pray why attempt to suppress those things that are so glaring and plainly revealed, that those who run may read. Is it the part of wisdom for a man who is suffering with a deadly disease to try and keep it a secret? Is it not common sense and good judgment that he have a diagnosis made and a remedy applied, before it has sapped his strength and vitality, to the extent that he becomes incurable? "Bacon Sandwich" ABOARD S. S. BUSTAMANTE, P. I. July 28.—We want no Bacon sandwich, read one of the many signs carried by independence enthusiasts in a parade that greeted Col. Carmi Thompson when he visited the town of Cuyo, the last point on his present inspection tour. This was the Filipino way of describing a Congressional bill introduced by Representative Robert L. Bacon (R. N. Y.). They have declared that this bill, announced as a measure to further Philippine progress, in reality has concealed within its folds means of tightening America's hold on the islands. Specifically the bill provides a separate government for Mindanao, the More section, and strengthens the powers of the Governor-General. This bill and the Kise measure, denying the powers of the Philippine Auditor, seem to have dreaded widespread recruitment, for everywhere Gig. Thompson has gone he has been wugly welcomed and thereafter given a decompensation by the independence group. No man lives without fighting and being justified; in all ways he has to allow himself through the world, giving and receiving offense—Carolina.

Although born of wealthy parents and highly educated, she forsook London society and traveled to Persia, then to Syria and other Eastern countries, studying the customs and languages of the people, mixing among them intimately in the disguise of a native woman, and reporting to the British Intelligence Office the progress of her wanderings and intrigue. In recording briefly her career one writer states: "Gertrude Bell, at first from Cairo and later in the active centres of the political arena in Arabia itself, proved to be the directing mind in the moulding of British policy in that disturbed region. She had traveled throughout that region considerably, spoke the language of the Arabs to perfection, rubbed shoulders with the Druses of Syria, the Nosairis, the Kurds, the Shammar Arabs, the Hedjazis, the Nejdis, the Chaidean Christians, the Nestorians—in short there was hardly a niche or corner in the Near East which she had failed to visit or canvass in her wide studies. To the British Foreign Office she was a godsend." This remarkable woman spared no time for marriage; her sole purpose was to serve her country, which she did admirably and well. Duty to race and nation was paramount, and this is the spirit we would like to see exhibited by Negro women today. Miss Bell's achievements are not singular. Other English women, such as Lady Stanhope, Lady Blunt, Dorothy Mills and others too numerous to mention, have been engaged in the same pursuits for their country, each trying to serve where men could not; for it is well known that white women are the best spies in the world. Their womanly charms and subtle influence can wring from a man many a secret. On the battlefield they are nurses, in the camps they are entertainers; in the war-ridden towns they are gracious hostesses to the tired out army officers; in piece time they are hunting big game in darkest Africa; inquisitive tourists, Christian missionaries, philanthropic persons who are not afraid "to mix"; sweethearts of influential men not of their race, and so divers are the guises in which they play their part, and like the chameleon can change their outer appearance to suit any occasion. Because of deference to their sex women can travel in dangerous places without being molested, and create little or no suspicion in getting political or economic information, hence their services are invaluable to nations and states. It is to be hoped that Negro women will emulate her adventurous, pale-faced sister, and go forth knowing no fear but the fear of God. The vast continent of Africa is yours to explore; those who look like they are waiting for you to teach them race solidarity and progress; the white oppressor is there for you to match into with and gain his confidence; no other field offers greater opportunity for you to exercise your latent talent than Africa, then go forth and make your contribution to your ancestral home and a struggling race will bless you. Injure Not the Reputation or Person of Another; by So Doing You Injure Yourself By P. L. BURROWS Injury is as a rule the outcome of hate. And here I have in mind the hymn of hate by Joseph Lana Miller. And from this we glean that no greater injury can be done the individual, the nation, or the race that brought about by war. Injury is generally prompted by the feeling of revenge; a vindication of an imaginary wrong sometimes and still more often brought about by a real wrong. The real wrongs are the outcome of envy, hatred or malice. Let us then consider first, what is revenge? Revenge is a kind of self-satisfying, savage justice: satisfying the vulgar and caude appetites of the lawless: a vicious striking back for an imaginary or real wrong done, thereby defying the laws of the land. And the more an individual takes to himself the position of judge, jury and executioner, the more ought the law and its officers to stamp it out. Because the first offense is against the law and the individual, but the taking of justice into ones own hands, puts the law out of office, and if permitted must redound to the discredit of the state and its duly accredited and recognized functionaries; for after all the individual in satisfying his own revenge, by getting even with his enemy or antagonist, not only hurts the individual, but takes from the state and the country the right which is theirs to administer punishment to lawbreakers. Apart from that, it is a glorious profit of mankind that of forgiveness, if we can rise above that feeling of taking unto ourselves our own savage justice by forgiving the wrong doer. Purveyors of False News What is INJURY? Injury takes various forms, to damage one physically, to place unjustly a wrongful, mischievous, or harmful interpretation, by our acts towards another person; one who meticulously misrepresents another by word, or deed; an act of savoring one for the purpose of destroying their reputation, to insult or to offend without reason. How then can we injure the reputation of another? By disseminating false, untrue and unsavory reports concerning them, when we know that they are not guilty; on the other hand, to assist others through listening, believing, and assisting them to pass from individual to individual, false statements about another, without ourselves finding out the truth concerning name. In other ways the manufacturing of such glaring lies, that the very best friend of the individual thus attacked is liable to lose confidence in him and stand against when the facts are so plausible locking, very often. after even lawyers, judges and jury have sifted the facts of the case against an individual, the chain of circumstantial evidence is so strong that the poor victim is sentenced, although not guilty, through wicked vindication of malicious, false witnesses. In injury can also be made as stable through scandal. You can injure another in many ways, physically, morally and industrially. Industrially by interfering with their business from many angles; by accusing them of using unjust methods, false measures, and short weights in their business; by encouraging others to be disloyal to them, and other ways by deliberately planning and plotting with their false friends and enemies to circulate stories to their detriment and embarrassment, all this through jealousy and malice, such as was done in the case of our leader. Hon. Marcus Garvey, by the Eight Uncle Tom Negro—the men and women who signed the historic and fatal document sent to Attorney-General Daugherty of the United States. These men and women will doubly be repaid by posterity and they will form a very important part of the future history of the Negro. Such men made themselves famous: infamously immortalized themselves in the hall of ill-fame forever, where the Negro is concerned. Seek Not Revenge What is MALICE? Malice is spitefulness, ill-will, wickedness, demonstrating a disposition to harm others: deliberately and diabolically, mischievous concerning others. Such persons are only moved by hate, having malicious intentions, and they are persons who willify another, knowing well that none of their statements are founded upon facts or based upon good reasoning, other than to injure the character or reputation of another. I feel that this article would be incomplete, without taking into consideration the well earned reward of such persons, when we remember that the laws of compensation, retribution and averages are immutable, and that the men or women who sow such seed, must reap thereby the fruit of bitterness. The Bible tells us, he who sowes to the flesh, shall reap corruption, and theirs will come to them in double agony and remorse, with tears that blind, weighing into the souls of the individuals and bearing them down, even to the depths of Hell. There can be no excuse for such people, neither should we sympathise with them, for they are incorrigibles, and moral derelicts; they are cowards of the meanest and lowest type and deserve their fate, and generally die a thousand deaths by their own wicked marriages and evil habitats. Shame such people and by yourself. MORAL: Avoid from the appearance of evil by being writing and ready to investigate anything that would involve you, where the good name of another skilled studio; for he is remembered that when you injure others by word or blood, you thus injure yourselves doubly, both morally and culturally. THE NIGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 7, 1920 ETHICAL CODE FOR MINISTERS ETHICAL CODE FOR MINISTERS --- Abreast of Current Thought Important Item—Negro Ministers Please Note A professional code of ethics for ministers might be considered a work of supererogation, since they are supposed to put away the world, the flesh and the devil when they subscribe to their ordination vows and take up their sacred calling. Yet there are certain mistakes into which ministers sometimes innocently fall, certain errors of judgment to which the very mature of their calling makes them more susceptible than are those engaged in the worldly professions. With this, perhaps, in mind, a committee has prepared a code of ethics for Presbyterian ministers and submitted it to the Presbytery of New York, which will take up the matter of its adoption at the fall meeting. The committee is composed of the Rev. Dr. George Stewart, one of two associate pastors of Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, chairman; the Rev. Dr. William Raymond Jelliffe, the other associate pastor of Madison Avenue Church; the Rev. Theodore F. Savage, chairman of the Church Extension Committee of the Presbytery, and James C. Forbes, an elder. As we quote it from the New York Times, the proposed code of ethics would have a minister give his full service to his parish, devote sufficient time for serious study in order to develop himself and keep abreast of current thought, keep physically fit and take a weekly holiday and annual vacation. Then it goes on to say: "It is unethical for the minister to use sermon material prepared by another without acknowledging its source. "As an ethical leader in the community it is incumbent on the minister to be scrupulously honest, avoid debts and meet his bills promptly. "In accepting a pastorate, a minister assumes obligations which he should faithfully perform until released in the constitutional manner. "As a professional man, the minister should make his service primary and the remuneration secondary. "A minister should not regularly engage in other kinds of remunerative work, except with the knowledge and consent of the official board of the Church. "The confidential statements made to a minister by his parishioner are sacred and not to be divulged. "As a minister is especially charged to study the peace and unity of the Church; it is unwise as well as unethical for a minister to take alides with factories in his church in any but exceptional cases. "The minister is the servant of the community, and not only of his church, and should find in the opportunity for general ministerial service a means of evidencing the Christian spirit. "It is unethical for a minister to interfere directly or indirectly with the parish work of another minister; especially should he be careful to avoid the charge of proselytizing from a sister church. "Except in emergencies, ministerial services should not be rendered to the members of another parish without the knowledge of the minister of that parish. "A minister should not make overtures to or consider overtures from a church whose pastor has not yet resigned. "It is unethical for a minister to speak ill of the character or work of another minister, especially his predecessor or successor. It is the duty of a minister, however, in cases of flagrant misconduct to bring the matter before the proper body. "A minister should be very careful to protect his brother ministers against imposition by unworthy applicants for aid, and should refer all cases to established charitable agencies, rather than to send them to other churches. "A minister should be scrupulously careful in giving indorsements to agencies or individuals, unless he has a thorough knowledge and approval of their work, least such indorsements be used to influence others unduly. "As members of the same profession and brothers in the service of a common Master, the relation between ministers should be one of frankness and cooperation." WHEN I AM GONE I shall weave a spell about your heart So, that, no matter who may come tomorrow, Some little thing of me she yet must borrow Before your pulse will awake and start. To hall her from the crowding world, apart.... I have brought joy ... who knows ... I may bring sorrow ... But, if I go tomorrow, I shall weave a spell before we part! Lips that may press your lips when I am gone. Hand that may wander gently through your hair. Eyes that may meet your eyes in living matter— Out of my eyes and lips and hands are born ... When I go, you may dream that you are free— But you will be closestained then laughing me! NOTES OF INTEREST Who Won the Last War? The world knows now that war never makes no matter who wins. France won the last great war, the Germans lost it. The German budget is balanced, the German mark is worth par. The French are in a state of worry, of political alarm of financial disaster. The france recently dropped below two cents, as against a value of nearly twenty cents when the war started. Great Britain also "won the war." Great Britain is hothorner with millions of idle workers, great strikes, heavy debts, crushing taxes on the British people. "Winning the war" did not pay—N. Y. American. The Hypocrisy of Prohibition Officers of the Leviathan deny that rum is sold on the ship. Perhaps it is not, but the temptation must be great for the stewards. They mix the cocktails and serve the drinks for passengers on that "prohibition U. S. A. line." No one will deny that. Passengers bring their alcoholic supplies on board, everybody on the ship sees the drinking done. Nothing is gained by adding hypocrisy to boot-legging. The rich in this country want alcohol, and get it. The poor are controlled, to some extent, by high prices, but even they can get bargain rates from men that redistill denatured alcohol. They pay with their kidneys and with shorter life, but that seems not to disturb them.—Arthur Brisbane. The Benefits of Clean Sports Sport develops the body. But it also develops keenness of observation and quickness of perception. It makes one react instantaneously, so that his declarations are prompt. It develops initiative. A man learns to think quickly in an emergency, to be strategic, to watch his opponent, and to outwit him, if necessary. Also he learns the invaluable lesson of co-operation, of team play. He learns to obey as well as to lead; to be a game loser when he must, a generous winner when he can. A good fighter anywhere—in war, in business, or in politics—can not be a "quitter."—Dr. Marden. China's Struggle Against Oppression Since 1842 the powers have imposed by force upon China unequal treaties by which they have got political and economic control. Through this control they have checked Chinese industrial development and made China a mere market for their goods as well as a mere supplier of resources, or materials. In other words, China has been forced to be an international market and an international colony. Consequently the Chinese business men have become bankrupt; the handicraftmen and unskilled laborers have become unemployed. All these have contributed to the increase of poverty and starvation of the masses and to the prolongation of civil war. Since the Chinese are human creatures, they must make some response to such heavy oppression. Our first response was the Boxer movement, our second response was the students' movement of 1800; our third response was the mass movement of 1825. Mexico and the Catholics Prior to the Mexican revolution, Catholic priests and bishops owned immense estates. Many of these were confiscated and the power of the clergy cut to a minimum. They did not like this, even though they profess to set a low valuation on things earthly. The American imperialists who hungered for the vast mineral wealth of Mexico found in the dethroned clergy useful allies. They have been in alliance ever since. Now the government has decided to crush the political power of the Catholic church completely. The Catholics have retaliated by declaring a general boycott against the government. This is rebellion and though the church boasts about its devotion to constituted authority, the boycott has the sanction of the church and orders have gone out from Rome to its affiliated sections all over the world to open a propaganda war on Mexico—Daily Worker.

Headache and Neuralgia By the Black Green Nurses of New York There is no tilt to which flesh is hair that is the source of a greater degree of discomfort the human race than headache. In headache we have an indication that the system is subjected to some strain or injurious impression; it may be that the eyes have been overworked, or the brain overtaxed, or that the nervous and physical systems have not been properly refreshed by sufficient sleep, and have used up the residue of reserve power. Many suffer from headache only after they have been subjected to sudden changes of temperature and have taken cold; others only when the bowels have become inactive, the liver terpid and the blood vitiated with retained poisons. Headaches may be divided into two classes—these due to the presence of poisons in the blood, and those due to irritation of various organs, as of the eyes, stomach, liver and intestines. Of the first form or variety of headache, influenza or grip and acute "cold in the head" are the most common causes; these give rise to most excruciating pain. There is congestion followed by inflammation in the nasal passages and cavities communicating therewith. The membranes of these passages throw out a thin, watery irritating discharge which gradually thickens and become pus-like and offensive in character, if the disease continues. Malarial headache, sometimes termed "brow aque" is a common form of the malady with those residing in malarial regions, the pain rapidly develops, usually over one eye, it lasts from five to ten hours and is often of frightful intensity. Other forms are rheumatic and gouty headache: usually a heavy aching pain appearing on the approach of storms, but at times almost continuous, made worse by improper diet. Uremic headache is due to kidney disease, and alcoholic to direct irritation of the brain membranes from the use of alcoholic beverages, the latter is accompanied with much irritation of the stomach and intestines. Headaches of a similar character result from the presence in the blood of an excess of the active principles of coffee and tea. Over-indulgence in these agents, as with alcohol affects the nerve cells and membranes often causing severe attacks of headache. Neuralgia is an affection of the nerves of which the chief symptom is pain; the great majority of headaches and neuralgias are due to the presence of poisons in the blood. This may be due to the affections of the blood-making or blood-purifying organs. In some cases we advise treatment where every facility in the way of electrical appliances and many other aids that can only be employed by the personal attention of a physician. DON'T NAG YOUR DAUGHTERS Discipline Is One Thing—Fault-Finding Another Mother, do you nag your daughter? Stop and think. Do you? You may be guilty of this unpardonable sin and not know it. The nagging habit, like a snake lurking in the underbrush, may have crept upon you unawares and now hold you in its evil power a slave. Root out the evil. Now. Today. Before it is too late. Before you see your daughter, fettered and disheartened, asking her time. Discipline is one thing. Continual reproving and fault-finding quite another. These days young mothers are taught not to forever check their children. This does not mean that children be allowed to run wild, unbridled, unrestrained. By all means teach the young moral fundamentals—right, obedience, truthfulness, kindness. Then stop Learn to let your children alone. Continual checking tends to weaken a child's spirit. Shackles her self-confidence, a requisite so potent in this age of ours. Also it will make her self-conscious, to say nothing of lost individuality. Give her freedom. Leave her alone. She won't go far wrong. And when your child is grown allow her the same freedom. Many a daughter's life has been a failure because of the unwieldy of a parent. She is warned against this young man that young man. Against doing this, doing that. Wearing this or that. She is challenged for some trivial mishap that was of no consequence at all. Overlook petty incidents that mean nothing except, perhaps, to provoke discord. Continual nagging of a daughter results disastrously for both parent and child. The daughter is made to think that nothing she does is right. The result? Eventually she gives up trying to do anything worth while at all. And settles to an alimone life, not worth the candle. And all off this not for the want of love on the part of mother. No. Rather, mother love is the prompter. And just that is the irony of it. Stop nagging, mother, before it reacts upon yourself. Like the proverbial boomerang, it will come back to the one who hurls it with equal force. In old age the nagging mother, if she does not find herself neglected and alone, will be companioned by a disgruntled daughter, joyless, helpless, depressed—one who lamentably has missed the beauty and meaning of life. A sorry state, indeed, but like most evile, avoidable, if crushed in its incapacity. Be wise, mother, and don't come to this. If only for your own sake—N. Y. Telegram.

TORONTO, CANADA On July 28, a most unique and fashionable wedding was held in this city at the R. M. E. Church when Miss Rachel Adina Stephenson was united in marriage to Mr. J. M. Williams, president of the U. N. I. A. division here. It was a typical U. N. I. A. wedding and the ceremony was solemnized by the Rev. F. O. Stewart. The bride, who was given away by Mr. Dudley Marshall, a prominent U. N. I. A. speaker, was attired in a dress of white satin with the cap of her beautiful adorned veil trimmed with orange blossoms. She carried a bouquet of bridal roses and baby's breath. The entire costume of the bride was exquisite. The church was nicely decorated with flowers and flags which formed a lovely arch, but the flag of the association the red, black and the green rendered it still more spectacular. Many guests and spectators viewed the conubial scene. The wedding march of Mendelssohn was played by Mr. King, choir master of the U. N. I. A. The choir of the U. N. I. A. rendered several selections, while Mira. P. Fox, lady president of our division sang a solo during the signing of the register. The bride was attended by Miss Gladys Bramwell and the groom was supported by Mr. J. Carter, ex-president of this division. The bridemaids were dressed in pink gowns with pink hats to match and carried dainty bouquets of pink roses. Master Thomas Foster acted as ring-bearer, Doris Bally and little Fancy Gibbons as flower girl and train bearer respectively. It is not very often that we see in our city with a comparatively small population of colored people a jungle with such a galaxy of flowers. The reception was held at the U. N. I. A. hall. Both bride and groom were recipients of many handsome presents. Mr. Williams is a business man. He is well known in Toronto business and social circles. EUGENE R. ESTEY. Reporter.

Israel C. M. E. Church, 23rd and Washington streets, was the setting of one of the most elaborate meetings ever held in Gary in honor of a high official of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, July 22 at 8:30 p.m. The occasion particularly was a welcoming reception in honor of the Acting President General, Hon. Fred A. Toote. The meeting opened with the Opening Ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountain"; after which the usual opening service was conducted by the President, Mr. Eugene H. Steward. The U.N.I.A. Band played a selection, then the speaker was introduced by Rev. T. L. Scott, pastor of the First A.M.E. Church of this city. The introductory remarks were timely and the speaker was truly at his best. He emphasized the necessity of the race respecting leadership. Hon. Fred A. Toote was then presented to the audience and was received with hearty applause. He chose for his subject "Arise and Shine for Thy Light Has Come." The subject was well treated and among the many good things spoken the speaker said: "The time has come when we must strike out. We are not discouraged for our light has come and the only solution is through the methods of the U.N.I.A. One God, One Aim, One Destiny." Mr. Toote extended an invitation to the Rev. T. L. Scott to visit the New York local and address them. He also complimented the band as being the best in the organization. Mr. E. B.

On Sunday, the 13th day of June the Puerto Cortes Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League held a memorial service in honour of the late Mr. Alfred Alexander Cain, treasurer of the division. No stones were left unturned to make this service a success, and the division had the great pleasure of seeing all their arms and wishes concerning the service materialized. The division also mourns the loss of Mr. Austin N. Staline, the executive secretary, who departed this life on Friday, June 18. Mr. Staline was a loyal and faithful officer of the Cortes Division. He was much interested in the programme of the U. N. I. A. for the redemption of Africa. He spent a good deal of his time in working for the general improvement of the Cortes Division. Mr. Staline held his office from the inception of the Division in 1920 to the day of his death. No "Ups and Downs" of the Division caused him to change his love for the programme of the U. N. I. A. and by his acts and deeds he proved himself a firm believer in the Honourable Marcel Garvey. At his dying moment he requested that while his body be inked to the Church (Weasleyan Methodist) to receive funeral rites, that only hymns and prayers from the U. N. I. A. ritual be used. His funeral was largely attended by members and friends of the U. N. I. A. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Fred G. Cooper and the chaplain, Mr. John Calam. H. L. CHRISTIAN. Reporter. JACKSONVILLE FLA Jacksonville Division held a Garvey Day service on Sunday, July 4, with Mr. G. W. Parker, president of the division, in the chair. After the opening service, the lady president took the chair and provided while the program was rendered. The principal speaker was Reverend Adams who has recently joined the organization. COLON. PANAMA The foresight and courtesy of two lady members of the organization were largely instrumental in converting what was intended to be an anniversary entertainment into a very inspiring revival meeting. Plans for an entertainment for July 15 to mark the seventh anniversary of our division as a chartered member of the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. were complete when Mrs. S. German, who happened to visit the city, discovered that Mrs. Laura Koff, a distinguished traveler and missionary from Acra Gold Coast, West Africa, was in our midst. Mrs. German, on behalf of the division, invited the distinguished visitor to attend our function, which invitation was courteously accepted. Although Mrs. Koff and a fair gathering were at Liberty Hall on the evening of the 15th, the entertainment proper did not take place until the following evening, owing to the inclementy of the weather. Interest in the evening's proceedings was so keen that at 7.45 p.m. standing room was hardly available. The program, which had to be rearranged, was as follows: Hymn, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," prayers, by the vice-president Mr. J. O. Burnett; welcome and introduction of Mrs. Laura Kofi by the president, Mr. D. Johnson; address "Africa," Mrs. Laura Kofi; song, "My Mother's Song," Mr. C. Samuels; exhibition, African wares, Mrs. Laura Kofi; song, "Iola," Mrs. A. Ellis; context, Red, Black and Green, by Medumes J. McDonald, M. Spence and B. Ellis, supported by Mr. H. Kid, Mr. C. Nurse, Mr. F. Johnson; song, "The Cottage in the Valley," Mr. C. Samuels; address, "Co-operation," Mr. J. Burnett; song, "Give Your Smiles to All the Girls," Mrs. R. Ellis. Address expressing devotion and loyalty to the cause and the Honorable Marcus Garvey were also delivered by Messrs. H. Kidd, S. German, S. McCourty, B. Granam, Mrs. E. Hilton and, last but not least, our veteran member, Mr. Thomas Ivy. The singing of the anthem, "Ethiopia," followed by the Doxology, brought the evening to a close. As may be expected, Mrs. Kohl was the centre of attraction, yet the audience by every possible means emphasized its appreciation of the proceedings, so that when the invitation was extended fourteen was the number added to the membership roll. When it is recalled that we are off the beaten tract—having to use trains and motor launch to connect us with the outer world—too much thanks cannot be accorded Mrs. German and Mrs. Kohl for their contribution toward a really inspiring and successful evening. C. DE WHITMORE NURSE. Reporter. RIO CANTO, ORIENTE, CUBA On Sunday, July 18, the Rio Cante Division held a monster mass meeting. It has been quite along time since the hall has been so packed, and those who turned out showed their willingness to pay tribute to our imprisoned leader in no uncertain manner. The meeting commenced at 7:30 p.m. The religious part of the program was conducted by the chaplain, Mr. Wilford Lucas, Addresses were delivered by Messrs. N. Burton A. Myers and J. Burton.

There was much rejoicing and unbounded enthusiasm over the purchase of the Smallwood-Corey Industrial Institute at Claremont, Virginia. Five new members were enrolled and upwards of $200 pledged towards the $10,000 needed for our university. At 10:30 a.m. the division had as its guests 21 officers representing the Pittsburgh, Homestead, Braddock, and Donora divisions. They came in response to an invitation extended them by the Hon. B. A. Haynes to discuss the best ways and means of jointly celebrating the birthday of the Hon. Marcus Garvey on August 17th. Other matters discussed and acted upon were as follows: (1) Loyalty to Hon. Marcus Garvey and the new Administration; (2) Supporting $10,000 University Drive; (3) Co-operation and support of our Parent Body. The following program for celebration of our leader's birthday was adopted: August 15th, mass meeting; Braddock; August 17th, mass meeting and festivities; Pittsburgh; August 18th, mass meeting; Homestead; August 26th, mass meeting and picnic, Donora. The Hon. S. A. Haynes in addressing the conference made a passionate appeal for sincerity and loyalty at this time. He told of the handicaps under which the present administration was compelled to labor and requested the officers to do their very best in rallying to all calls from the Parent Body. He told the Presidents to return at once to their divisions and start a campaign for funds for our University as the Parent Body must have immediate funds to place it before the world. The Conference adjourned at 1 p.m. to meet again in Homestead in the month of August. A large number of members and friends turned out at 3:30 p. m.

DO YOU WANT YOUR BUSINESS TO THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 7, 1988 Spanish Section SECCIÓN EN ESPAÑOL por La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra 54-56 Oeste, Callo 135, Ciudad de Nueva York, N. Y. PROF. M. A. FIGUEROA, Editor (Adaptada en la convention internacional celebrada en Nueva York, apuesta de 1988, sobre la cual preside el Mon. Maraus Garvey y fue eloque presidente provisional de Afrika.) Con el objeto de exhortar nuestra raza universalmente y estimularia hacia un futuro mas brillante, demandamos e insistimos en la siguiente declaración de derechos: Observando el espíritu perverso de la raza opuesta—Estrechando mas y mas nuestro circulo de acción—El mundo convertido en un hervidere de pasiones mezquinas—Preparémonos para afrontar los grandes cabios—Nuestros derechos ignorados 1. Tengase presente que comouquiera de que todos los hombres han sido creados iguales y con derecho a su existencia, libertad y persecución de su felicidad, nosotros, legalmente elegidos representantes de los pueblos negros del universo, invocamos la ayuda del Ser Supremo y declaramos a todos los hombres, mujeres y nífos de nuestra raza, ciudadanos libres y les aclamos ciudadanos de Africa, cuna de nuestra raza. Detengámonos a hacer un estudio minucioso de la actitud de la raza blanca universalmente y notaremos cuan prejucioso es el movil perverso que guia a esta parte de la humanidad haçía su otro semejante, por el solo hecho de ser este último de un tinte mas ó menos oscuro, distinción física que ha dado tanto que hacer y decir al elemento irreverente a la alta concepción de nuestra gran madre Naturaleza. 2. Creemos en la autoridad suprema de nuestra raza; que todo has sido creado para los hombres como una posición comun; que debiera existir una distribución equitativa en todo lo creado y considerando que como una raza, nosotros nos vemos privados de todo lo que moral y legalmente es nuestro, creemos un deber que tales cosas deben ser adquiridas por todos los medios posibles. Si estudiamos con gran detenimiento y observamos el curso de estos acontecimientos, veremos claramente que durante los últimos cincuenta años la raza opuesta ha ido estrechando mas y mas el circulo de nuestro medio de acción, llegando a la conclusión lamentable de que en vez de ganar, vamos perdiendo terreno en nuestra obra de reconstrucción de nuestra madre patria y de verdadera liberación para todos y cada uno de los componentes de nuestra raza. 3. Creemos que el negro, como cualquier otro individuo, debe bornearse por la etica de la civilización y no debe ser privado de ninguo de esos derechos o privilegios comunes a todo ser humano. Todo cuanto por nosotros se hubiera hecho veinte años ha, no se haria en la actualidad; lo que hoy dia se pudiera hacer no se hará en el mañana, porque la humanidad se ha convertido en un hervidero de pasiones mezguias e intolerantes. Ella esta huérfana de simpatia, no conoce la caridad y no podemos tener oportunidad alguna en el porvenir, porque ese futuro lo manejarán ellos. Si hemos de contar con lo venidero tendremos que proporcionárnoslo nosotros, que sea pura y exclusivamente nuestro, producto único de nuestra propia creación, sin que para ello intervengan en su elaboración elementos extraños que lo modifiquen 6 lo adulteren, con prejuicio detrimental a nuestra condición peculiar de raza. 4. Declaramos que el negro. doquiera constituya una comunidad, de碧 serle reconocido el derecho de elegir sus propios representantes a las legislaturas, cortes y demas instituciones, toda vez ejerza control sobre tales comunidades. 5. Creemos que el negro debe ser juzgado con equidad por todas las cortes de cualquier pais y cuando esto le es negado, ya por su raza o su color, ello constituye un insulto a la raza y debe ser resentido por todo nuestro elemento. 6. Declaramos ilegal y perjudicial a los derechos del negro en comunidades donde exista en número considerable, el que sea juzgado por un juez y jurado compuesto enteramente por miembros de la raza opuesta y en tales casos miembros de nuestra raza deben tener representación en el jurado. Tenemos que tomar en cuenta, tenemos que realizar que dentro de veinte, treinta o cuarenta años mas, se operarán grandes cambios no solamente en este país sino en toda la superficie de este planeta. Debemos, por consiguiente. 7. Creemos que cualquier ley que tienda a privar al africano de sus tierras o el privilegio de ciudadanía en su país, es injusta e inmoral y ningun native debe respetar tal ley. estar lo debidamente preparados para afrontar el desenlace de ese desarrollo revolucionario, proceso que envolverá una metamórfosis sin paralelo en dichos acontecimientos. Si carecemos de fuerza, poder, unidad y entidad para sobrevivir a ese movimiento radical que se avecina, nos encontraremos con nuestra derrota; si no estamos prevenidos, ello determinará nuestra exterminación e indudablemente la extinsión completa de nuestra raza. 8. Imposición de contribuciones sin representación es tiránica e injusta y no debe existir obligación de parte del negro para obedecer las ordenanzas de un cuero legislativo, del cual es excluido y negada su representación por su raza o color. Una gran lección objetiva tenemos en lo que está sucediendo en el sur de Africa, donde a medida que paralelamente ven el progreso de los nativos, se va acrecentando un odio ven más irritable de parte del blanco explotador; una mano mas férrea e inhumana, una obra de trato sin misericordia y sin alma, para mantener en bechornosa esclavitud al hombre de color. Si miramos los hechos como debamos verlos, estan claros como la luz del dia juzgando por el espíritu de la época presente. A medida que el negro suba un peldano mas en la escala de su progreso, immediatamente el celo, la codicia se manifiesta en el tal llamado ser superior, ese blanco que ignora ser su hermano en la creación de todo ser humano. 9. Creemos que cualquier ley directamente en contra del negro para su detrimento por su raza o color, es ilegal e inmoral y no debe ser respetada. 10. Creemos que todos los hombres tienen derecho al respeto como humanos y que nuestra raza no debe tolerar en modo alguno, ningun insulto que indique la falta a ese respeto. 11. Detestamos el uso de la palabra "negrillo" y demandamos que la palagra negro sea el nombre propio de la raza. 12. Creemos que el negro debe adoptar todos los medios para protejerse en contra de las practicas de barbaries inflictas sobre el, por su raza o color. El blanco no puede ver con buenos ojos el que progresemos porque en su sed de esclavista, cree que debemos ser sus eternos asnos y cargar sobre nuestros hombros, el peso de todo lo que posee y trata de poseer en el futouro. Cree, pues, ser el eterno señor de látigo en este siglo de tanta luz y de tanta acometividad humana, donde tanto el blanco como el negro, el indu como elamarillo, han contribuido a encender el faro de civilización que brilla en el pináculo de la gran democracia. 13. Creemos en la redención de Africa para los pueblos negros del universo y basados en el lema de Europa para los europeos y Asia para los atiacatos, demandamos Africa para los africanos, dentro y fuera de aquel continente. 14. Creemos en el derecho hereditario del negro para posesionarse de Africa y que tal posición no sea considerada como una infricción sobre cualquier reelamo o negociación, hecha por cualquier otra raza o nación. No es este el momento para la traición, el egoismo y el maltrato. La existencia, el derecho a la vida, nuestro yo racial está en la balanza. Tendremos forozamente que procurarnos nuestro futuro, asegurándolo indefinidamente por una acción immediata o resolvámonos a volver otra vez al estado detestable de la esclavitud y a la venta bochornosa da nuestras madres, de nuestros hijos, de nuestras esposas, al eterno verdugo, al enemigo abominable de nuestra raza. 15. Condenamos la política de las naciones que, por medio de la agresión o tramas secretas, han ocupado territorios y han exploatado la riqueza natural de Africa y solemnmente declaramos que hemos de reclamar los tesoros y posesiones del extenso continente de nuestros antepadas. Los derechos de nuestro grupo como parte integrante de la humanidad han sido ignorados; se nos niegan destinos en la administración por el soleo hecho de ser negros. Así lo practica este pape y tal es la práctica comenzada en todas partes. Esto es un mundo de blancos—ellos se jactan de magnifecer. Tanto el continente de los duques y marqueses de alia como el de los croes y capitanes de industria de asi, detestan la inadapted social. 16. Creemos que todos los hombres deben vivir en paz, pero cuando razas y naciones provocan la ira de otras razas y naciones restringiendo sus derechos, la guerra es inevitable y el esfuerzo para proteger que Aurecho es justificable. 17. Considerando el linchamiento, el quamar vivo, el aharcar y otros medios violentes una práctica berbara en el arn humano, una vorginza y una desgraca a la civilización, dechraramos culpable el país donde tales atracidas sean comotidas. ¿Y que dicen ellos acerde del Africa, nuestra tierra madre? Ellas sofisticamente nos dicen que constituyemos allí nuestro problema. Sísoburgo, en el ocur de equal sentimiento se ha pasado una ley resurgiendo la immigration del negro y en pente en junga todos los esfuerzos imaginarios, para privarvos de todo ventiglio de dorado humano. Si no podamos reclamar en America, en Europa 6 en Asia, definen por lo infalibleable del desvido humano que nos entiña, tener un alto donde poder acuerden con el mismo libertad. 18. Protestamos en contra del castigo corporal y del trabajo obligatorio sobre los nativos en Africa y el agro en todas partes. Estos métodos deben ser abolidos y dada recurririe a todos los medios para prevenir la continuación de tales prácticas brutales. 19. Protestamos en contra de la práctica de afeitar la cabeza del africano o sus descendientes cuando puestos en prisión, como castigo por algum crimen cometido. 20. Protestamos en contra de la segregación de distritos, separación de conveniencias públicas, descriminación industrial y limitación de los privilegios políticos de cualquier ciudadano negro en cualquier parte del mundo, por su raza o color y ejercitarmos toda nuestra influencia y poder en contra de tales arbitrariedades. 21. Protestamos en contra de cualquier castigo impuesto sobre el negro con mayor severidad, que el impuesto a cualquier otro individuo por la misma ofensa, como un acto de prejuicio y de injusticia el cual debe sere resentido por la raza en general. 22. Protestamos en contra del sistema de educación en cualquier país, donde al negro le es negado el mismo privilegio y ventajas de las otras razas. 23. Declaramos inhumano e ilegal el boycotizar al negro en la industria y en el trabajo en cualquier parte del mundo. 24. Creemos en la doctrina de la libertad de prensa y protestamos en contra de la supresion de publicaciones de nuestra raza en varias partes. 25. Demandamos la libertad de la palabra universalmente para todos los hombres. 26. Protestamos en contra de la publicación de artículos infamatorios por la raza opuesta, tendentes a crear desagrado en nuestra raza y la exhibición de películas presentando al negro como un canibal. 27. Creemos en la determinación propia de todos los hombres. 28. Declaramos la libertad de adoptar religión. 29. Con la ayuda del Creador nos declaramos protectores del honor y de la virtud de nuestras mujeres y niños en todas partes. 30. Demandamos el derecho ilimitado de la educación para nuestro elemento en el presente y en el futuro. 31. Declaramos que la enseñanza de nuestros niños por maestros de otras razas, por creerse superiores, es en insulto a los pueblos negros del universo. 32. Doquiera que el negro forme parte de la ciudadania de cualquier país y pase examen en el servicio civil, le declaramos con derecho a la misma consideración que los demas, en lo que a nombramiento respecta. 33. Protestamos en contra del tratamiento injusto de parte de agente y empleados de compaífas de transportación a los vijajeros de la raza e insistimos que por el mismo precio, tenga el mismo privilegio que los vijajeros de otras razas. 34. Declaramos un acto de injusticia de cualquier país, estado o nación, el crear leyes tendentes a obstruir la inmigración del negro, por su raza o color. 35. Que el derecho del negro para viajar sin molestias le sea reconocido universalmente y nuestro elemento debe prestar su ayuda para tal reconciimiento en caso de molestias. 36. Declaramos que el negro tiene el mismo privilegio de viajar universalmente como cualquier otro hombre. 37. Demandamos que los gobiernos del mundo reconozcan nuestro leader y sus representantes seleccionados por la raza, para velar por el bienestar de nuestro pueblo en dichos gobiernos. 38. Demandamos control absoluto de nuestras instituciones sociales, sin la intervención de elementos de alguna otra raza. 39. Que el Rojo, Negro y Verde serán los colores del ostandarte de la raza negra. A mi amigo el ilustre Prof. M. A FIGUEROA Magazine Section AFRICA—WORLD STOREHOUSE Far more valuable in world commerce even than diamonds is coal. The coal mining in South Africa has reached 12,000,000 tons a year and the mining is atill in its infancy. The price of coal in as low in South Africa as anywhere in the world. Cheap Negro labor has much to do with this. New coal mines have lately been opened in Rhodesia; others in the Katanga and still others in Southern Nigeria. There is coal enough in Africa for Africa. A platinum riff has just been discovered in South Africa and radium-bearing ore is reported by the Belgian Government on the Upper Congo The Belgian Congo Government goes so far as to say that these radium ore deposits are rich enough to supply the needs of the world. The Katanga district, where the radium ore was found in close proximity to coal, has further become famous for a mountain of almost pure copper. To bring this copper into the world trade a railroad is being built from Lobito Bay in Portuguese Southwest Africa tb the watershed between the Congo and the Zambesi at the cost of some $15,000,000. About half the line is now in operation. When in 1904 the writer rode on horseback across the Bukuru Plateau in West Central Africa he purchased from the natives metal ornaments that looked to him as though they were made of lead. Two years later the Niger Company sent an expedition of mining engineers to that plateau; what looked like lead was soft black river tin, and now fifty-five tin companies are exploiting the tin deposits of the Bukuru. I think the point is proved that Africa's wealth in minerals is very great, and iron has not yet been mentioned—that base metal basic of all developments today. The backbone of Africa is known to the geographers as the Central African ironstone plateau. A plateau larger than the United States holds an utterly unexplored wealth of iron. If Carnegie could build libraries for the world out of the iron dug at Pittsburgh, some future Carnegie may tackle the virgin iron wealth of Africa and use it through medical research to put an end to the diseases of the world. We may gain an impression as to the comparative importance of the various parts of Africa in world trade by looking at the export figures Egypt, having the dearest population of Africa, at least along the Nile and in the Delta, shows an export of $200,000,000. If we compare this with the export of America it appears that the individual Egyptian exports about half as much as the American, but if we compare the export and import of Egypt and America with the cultivated acreage, the export of Egypt per cultivated acre is far in excess of America. Algiers exported in 1923 goods valued at somewhat more than $108,000,000. Tunis $27,000,000, the French Congo $20,000,000, British East Africa about the same. South Africa $22,000,000, Nigeria $47,000,000, the Gold Coast $37,000,000, Sierra Leone $6,000,000, French Senegal $21,000,000 and Liberia $1,000,000. Africa, immeasurably rich in raw products, shares in export of world trade but to the extent of 3.3 per cent and 2.6 per cent, respectively, and as her land volume is one-fifth of that of our globe, her world trade is but one-sixth of the average. Many of the greatest harbors are river harbors. New York on the Hudson, London on the Thames, Hamburg on the Elbe, Buenos Aires on the La Plata, Culebra on the Ganges. Africa with the exception of the small town Bomba on the Congo has no river harbor of importance. Her great cities, except Cairo, do not lie on rivers. Health in Tropical Africa, unusually bad in the delta and estuaries, prevented the development of river harbors. In 1910, Africa's share of the shipping of the world was but seven per cent.; shipping carried in foreign boats, and as the tonnage at the different harbors was aggregated to reach this figure without considering that the same vessel might call at three or four and sometimes more places for her cargo, even seven per cent. is probably more than twice too high. Three per cent. of the world's shipping would be more the true share that Africa has at present. It is commonly held by geographers that on the East Coast of the United States, between Boston and Washington, will be found the densest population, and here will be established as the days go by the financial and industrial center of the world. There are various geographical reasons for this which may be found in Temple and Huntington's books. The East Coast of America will need more raw products. In West Africa we have one of the greatest storehouses of the world, little further from New York than San Francisco. Why need for our rubber at the East Indies when there is any amount of it no longer home on the Guinea Coast? Why need for our opege to the South Sumatra when we can get it up the Java Coast, less than one-third of the distance? This country will need more valuable oil.

We are already going for our oceans to the Gold Coast, and for our mahogany to the Ivory Coast. There is ebony on the West African rivers. There is gum in the Sudan, and much ivory in Ethiopia. And—Rubber! At present only one-fourth of one per cent. of the world's trade in rubber comes from Africa. We have under our wings, in West Africa, Liberia, a country where almost enough rubber could be secured to meet the needs of the United States. A rubber free requires about six years to become tappable and ten years to be fully. This fact causes the average American to hold back in investing in a project which will tie up his money over so long a period without return. A great storehouse has been provided for us on the other side of the Atlantic whence we may draw cheaply and quickly most of the raw supplies we need. Millions of tons of kapok (silk-cotton) annually go to waste on the West African river. Why deforest our country when the tropical forests of the Niger and the Congo are so near at hand? To sum up, the Atlantic States of the United States will shortly be looking for nature's supplies to feed their mills and factories. They will naturally turn to West Africa. What an opportunity for men of vision lies here before us—a continent to be developed. And there is but one drawback: Tropical Africa is held by dangerous defenders, the unseen miasma and microbes of deadly disease. Africa was first really opened to the knowledge of the modern world by Prince Henry of Portugal, called the Navigator. His victorious campaign of 1415 against the Moorish citadel of Ceuta reused his interest in the unknown continent, and he sent repeated expeditions down the coast to determine the extent of the continent. Finally one expedition returned with ten Negro slaves and some gold dust. That blazed the trail for the demoralizing slave trade that followed during the next four centuries. Gradually the interior was penetrated, during men lost their lives, as pioneers must, but the West African Coast became familiar through commerce and mailing charts. English and other European explorers followed the Portuguese in the late eighteenth century, and the nineteenth century was marked by the entrance of the distinctly scientific spirit into African exploration. This promises to turn the key to African wealth and convert Africa into a continent whose riches are not only known but accessible—riches that may prove the solution to knotty problems.

A Polly Wallin Ten Years To Read Girl's Note PARIS, July 31.-While in the trenches of northern France, Achille Carrières received a pair of comfortable wadded shoes with a note pinned to them, part of a gift announcement from the United States and Canada. For ten years Achille preserved the note carefully, hoping some time someone would visit his little home town of St. Flour who could translate the note, for it was written in English, of which he knows not a word. Recently a party of Americans stopped at St. Flour for dinner. Achille waited on them patiently and then carefully drew from his pocket a wollworm wallet and extracted from it a folded bit of paper, brown around the edges and deeply crossed. "Please, madam," Achille asked one of the women, "can you tell me what this writing is?" The woman took the note and translated into French: "Here's hoping the hotel sits." The note was signed by Florence Sherman, Alameda, Saskatchewan, Canada. "I've wanted so long, to know," said Achille, "for these were nice, warm socks. Now I can write and thank her for them."

If we had been given equal rights and privileges under the other fellow's government, we never would have thought of creating one of our own; and though we are being confronted by Jim Crowism, segregation, lynching, etc., some of us have Bithorne failed to see the necessity of an independent government for Negroes. I really don't know if I am making a mistake, but every case of ill treatment I read of meted out to the Negroes I feel that it helps to strengthen the members of the U. N. L. A. and gives them the impulse to "go forthward." Negroes need real object homes because they can see what the U. N. L. A. stands for. The sooner all Negroes realise that for us to get what we want is to do what the early Britons did to get their British Empire and to do what the Filipino Fathers did to get their United States of America, and so on. It's all the better. Let each Negro who is dead to the same and obliged to the U. N. L. A. ask himself the question. Love there a man with soul so dead Who never in his heart bath said: "This is my own, my native land!" Thoughtless Operations Swell Race Suicide To the Editor of The Negro World: It is time for our people to look thick and thick now, for the time is at hand when, if we as a race do not do so, we will be quietly murdered by them, women and misunderstood, by communicating to the request of every doctor, especially the white doctors, to be appointed on for any and every thing. I have obtained for the last twenty years this one out of every ten adults who have undergone opera- ment novelty tests to children after the operation. This is of very vital importance to our race, to know that we, as a race, are being almost mur- dered under this plan. Possibly not especially hold, but it is important that we, who are now earnestly working for the redefinition of our people, warn our people along these lines at this time.

British 'Young Bloods' Find Oxford Bags Are Ancient LONDON.—Home of the younger "bloods" of Britain who still cling to their Oxford bags as being quite up to date articles received a shock upon learning from T. A. Joyce, an explorer, who has been visiting the Maya tribe, that these "bags" are centuries old. Mr. Joyce says: "I found that some of the colored natives, descendants of the Mosquito Indians, out here wear an enormous loose garment like 'Oxford bags.' They are mostly white and pale yellow and some are salmon pink." The younger generation of women were also surprised to learn from the same source that Chucunque Indian women and the San Blas women for generations have used the ceremony of hair cutting as marking a transition stage from girlhood to womanhood. "The hat," wrote Mr. Joyce, "after the girlhood stage is cropped so close that it is exactly the same as that which is known now in England as the Eton crop." 200 Buffalo Attack WASHINGTON, July 21.—An attack by a surging herd of 200 buffalo on members of the Smithsonian-Chrysler expedition now in Africa was described in letters from Dr. William M. Mann, director of the National Zoological Park and head of the expedition, to the Smithsonian Institution and made public today. The expedition was in the Lake Tanganyika region. The party was on foot when the hard began to approach at high speed. When the charging buffalo were 100 yards away a member of the scientific party fired a rifle. This failed to halt the advance and members of the party turned and ran, pausing momentarily to discharge their rifles. The buffalo split then into two sections, permitting the scientists to fight their way to safety through mud and heavy underbrush. Dr. Munn reported capture of six young guu calves, which are to be brought back to the United States. Missouri Celebrates Emancipation WASHINGTON, July 31.—This week marks the climax of the movement fostered by the Kansas City Business Men's League to present an industrial exhibit in connection with its emancipation celebration on August 4.

More than 20,000 Negroes are expected to attend. Governor Baker, of Missouri, Judge Albert George of Chicago, Robert S.

Queens Mall Order House in Orange, Dux 44, New York City (From Abantu-Batho, Johannesburg) To read articles about black men from daily newspapers, weeklies, monthly magazines or other periodicals written by white men is one thing, to read books of allen authorship about black men, Negroes, or Ethiopians, books which omit all deeds of virtue and valor, and which, on the other hand, exaggerate all defects of black men and finally rob him of his rightful place and heritage—his contribution to civilization—is again one thing; to read articles from daily newspapers, weeklies, monthly magazines or periodicals and also to read books authored by a black man about others and for others of his race is another thing. For centuries a large number of white missionaries, traders, soldiers, explorers, historians, tourists and scientists have written about Africans from time to time and they have merciously misrepresented him by deliberate falsehoods in the eyes of the world. They have robbed the black man of his glory and civilization, both of which he earned and founded at a time when the present white races were not only savages and barbarians but were living in caves like wild animals. But the new Negro has awakened from the slumber of past centuries. He is at the cross-roads and demands his rights in an unmistakable language and with a voice that has thrown all his opponents into a universal consternation. The trumpet has sounded and a world of robbers, muspers and exploiters is in a great panic. "Thus far and no more misrepresentation, degradation and exploitation," a voviferous chours heralds from race writers and orators in matters both secular and spiritual. The Black Race owes its gratitude for this service, which has aroused and electrified race consciousness to the articles and orations of Hon. Marcus Garvey, brilliantly compiled and elegantly arranged by Lady Amy Jacques Garvey. Within a comparatively short time, Lady Amy Jacques Garvey has just issued the second volume of "Philosophy and Opinion of Marcus Garvey, or Africa for the Africans."

From cover to cover the contents of this second volume are displaying a universal survey of the relationship which exists between black and white at the present time. But above all else, both the compiler and her husband have exposed more than anyone before them the hypocrisy, color-prejudice, injustice and discrimination of the white race against the black men. More important still is the warning of the Negro Leader that the only avenue through and by which the Negro will win the respect of the world is by self-exertion and contribution in the founding of a Black Government by black men for black men in Africa, the home of the black man. The propaganda of enemies of Negro progress and freedom has been arrested. That propaganda has been invading us from all sides; it has since ceased to invade. It is on the defensive.

The speaker then invited questions from the audience, stating that inquiries of whatever nature were welcome. No questions were forthcoming, and the meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem.
